Some of my best memories of my Grandmother, were in the kitchen. One summer growing up I spent a week with my grandparents and she taught me quite a few recipes. We baked cookies, made candy, pickles and my favorite was Swedish Pancakes. These pancakes were good for any time of day…breakfast, dinner…it didn’t matter! When I came across this recipe for IHOP’s version of this classic, it brought back such good memories that I had to share it with you all. Enjoy !!!

Beat eggs until very light. Then sift together the flour, salt and sugar.
Add half the milk and fold in flour, sifted with sugar and salt.
Then add remaining milk, cream and butter.
If consistency is too thick , add more milk.
Using a hot griddle, ladle the batter onto the griddle creating a 5-6 inch diameter.
These pancakes are thin and will only need a minute or two on each side.
Place 2 tablespoons of lingonberry (Swedish cranberries) sauce on center of pancake and roll up like jelly roll.
Serve sprinkled with confectioners sugar.

My Estonian mother-in-law used to make these as an afternoon snack, filled with whichever jam or marmalade she had on hand. I never got the recipe, so this one goes into my recipe box. Thanks and Happy Holidays.

Hi there,

I know this blog is not specifically about IHOP, but your readers should know that IHOP is being asked to begin a phase-out period of battery cage eggs with an introduction of cage-free eggs. Many of their competitors have been able to do it (Burger King, Denny’s, Brueggers, Quizno’s, Wolfgang Puck’s restaurants, Ben and Jerry’s, Hardees, four-hundred universities (the list goes on)). So the question becomes, “why can’t IHOP?”

Consumers are not requesting that much from them, honestly. These are just basic humane standards of care. Cage-free systems offer hens a higher level of animal welfare than do battery cage systems. Making these transitions over time are very reasonable steps in the humane direction.

Unlike battery hens, cage-free hens are able to walk, spread their wings and lay their eggs in nests. It is also extremely practical to still produce the same amount of eggs as would be produced in battery cage systems. Most importantly to the American population, the sanitary conditions are greatly improved in a cage-free system. Alarms should be raised over the severe food safety concerns involved with IHOP’s egg production. In the video of IHOP’s primary supplier, Michael Foods, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4YZt9zFMnY), one can see dying and decomposed chickens laying on the eggs.

Evidence shows there is more Salmonella risk in caged flocks compared to cage-free flocks. In fact, factory farming is considered the reason Salmonella emerged as such a major egg pathogen in the first place.

According to the CDC, eggs now infect 50,000-110,000 Americans every year. Data shows that operations which cram thousands of hens into tiny cages are not surprisingly up to 20 times more likely than cage-free facilities to harbor Salmonella infection.

Please call IHOP at 1-866-444-5144 and politely ask them to begin the phase-out of battery-cage eggs.

I can’t wait to tey these out!
does anyone know how to make the IHOP stuffed french toast? That is my family’s all time fav but I have no clue how to make it!

This is my favorite thing to have at IHOP!.. They do have excellent breakfasts but stink in the lunch/dinner area. I never seem to get enough of the pancakes with my order.. The pancakes are thin and not very filling. I’m happy to be able to try this recipe and eat as much as I’d like! lol.. They actually serve the pancakes with lingonberry butter… I found another site with instructions.. You just let butter soften and then add a few tablespoons of the butter in it. Refridgerate again so it’s hard then use a small scoop to put on top of the pancakes when serving!.. Can’t wait to try them!

correction: add a few tablespoons of the lingonberry jam to the butter.. :@

A touch of cardamom flavoring will make these more “Swedish” and even more delicious!! Just stir it into the batter before you are finished.

Thank you! And for the health hazards of caged chickens…I buy cage free because of if I’m gonna eat a living food, I want it’s producer to be living free, but did not know about health hazards. And thanks for the red currant tip…that’s my favorite jelly anyway.

As a foodie, I am concerned about where my foods come from; it goes hand in hand. (It’s also about being a responsible consumer) So thank for the info Emily, and thanks for the yummy recipe. These pancakes were exactly what I was looking for!

Who rattled your cage? Her opinion is just as valid as yours. fyi, I also only buy cage-free eggs; a little humanity goes a long way.
